While visiting Busch Gardens, Shannon Christensen and Patti Squillante stop briefly to hug a bear! Others were em¬ ployed at shops in the Coliseum Mall, neighborhood public pools, autoparts shops, gas stations, or Busch Gardens. A few sat or did odd jobs for extra cash, and one student, Chip Zimmerman even taught sailing lessons at the Hampton Yacht Club on Hampton Roads Bay. Spending time at Virginia Beach, Buckroe Beach, and Nags Head was a main part of the summer, and perhaps the most enjoyable part. People dozed on damp beach towels, surfed, boogie- boarded, and romp¬ ed in the cool, spark- I i ng waves. The summer, whether spent on the beach, by a pool, at a job, or in air-conditioned homes, was a hot and steamy one. It was a time for taking life nice and easy, for sipping lemonade in the shade, and for absorb¬ ing the vibes of short- I i ved but sweet freedom. It was a time for everyone to be themselves, to dare to be different, for short was the time before a new school year would be sprung upon the students. It would be a year that would make many demands upon the students. The year would require them to get their loose- leaf paper in order, get their locker combina¬ tions down just right, get to class, and get to work! Introduction — 5

Senior Steve Erickson relaxes for a moment before continuing his work at JMU ' s workshop. As the halls filled yet again tor a new school year, and the rustling of new loose-leaf paper, the crashing of slamming lockers, and the whishing of new, disoriented students rushing to find classes became, once more, familiar sounds to the still summer-struck students, the most prominent sound was the buzzing of students conversing on what had happened over the summer. The buzzing was particularly bold because the past summer had been a very exc iti ng ex¬ hilarating one for all the students. Among the high¬ lights of the summer were trips ranging from New York to California. A long train of concerts at Chrysler Hall, Bessie ' s Boat¬ house, the Nor¬ folk Scope and the Hampton Coliseum made for even more good times. Vacation¬ ing students rocked with the music of the Ramones, Squeeze, The Power Station, The Fresh Festival, John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, Bryan Adams, Robert Plant, Paul Young, Frankie Beverly and Maze, and Luther Van Dross. Many students had jobs which made their summer exciting. Some worked at Vancostas, God¬ father ' s and Mil- ton ' s pizza parlors, or at Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy ' s, Chi Chi ' s, and Phil ' s Seafood Kitchen.
